History

Carl L Ford's first job was at WRKB in Kannapolis, which was owned by Bill Hefner at the time. Now Ford and his wife Angela own Ford Broadcasting, which owns WRKB and WRNA. The two stations broadcast the same programming, and Ford hosts a morning show on both stations.Jessie Burchette, "Broadcaster Carl Ford Off to Fast Start on Commission", The Salisbury Post, January 4, 2009.
